Abstract
Capparis ovata Desf. var. Herbacea seeds have very low germination percentage (5-10%) due to high dormancy. The
seedlings have low survival rate due to number of fungal diseases, which infest them during early stages of development in
the fields. Subsequently, the germinating seedlings began to dry and die, which make it very difficult to develop caper
gardens. To control this problem effectively, 4 fungicides namely Fosetyl-Al, Hymexzazol, metalaxy + Mancozeb,
Propamocarb were tested. Each fungicide was sprayed at three different times, at intervals of 3 days. The results showed that
the fungicide Fosetyl-Al powder was the most effective to control seedling loss due to fungal diseases when sprayed after
three days of culture.
